Route 9 in Rhinebeck, Red Hook reopens after truck accident

RHINEBECK >> A Red Bull truck veered off U.S. Route 9 and ended up tilted on a guardrail Friday morning, closing a stretch of the road for 2-1/2 hours but causing no injuries, according to the Rhinebeck Fire Department.

The accident happened about 9:10 a.m. between Millham and Stone Church roads, leading authorities to close Route 9 from Route 9G in Rhinebeck to Rokeby Road in Red Hook from 9:15 to 11:45 a.m., said Henry A. Campbell, the fire department’s information officer.

The truck was northbound on Route 9 when it overran about 125 feet of guardrail and ended up tilted towards its passenger side.

The truck ultimately was righted by a tow truck crew and state Department of Transportation workers and was hauled away.
